As a Financial Adviser, I have met many people in Dubai, who have been sold a Zurich Futura by a tricky banker or a sneaky financial advisor, as an investment plan or a guaranteed whole of life insurance plan.
They were shocked to find out that it is not what they believed the policy to be!
It is very critical that you read and understand the terms and conditions of any insurance or an investment plan, before signing on the dotted line, no matter how trustworthy your financial advisor or banker is.

Zurich Futura UAE provides protection, even if you move permanently to another country.
As Expats, our primary concern and sometimes the only concern, while availing insurance or investment in UAE is whether the particular plan will continue to provide the benefits if we move out of UAE for good.
The Futura aims to continue to provide protection, even if you move permanently to another country.
The portability is subject to exclusions based on your travel, residency history, and your plans, at the time of availing of the policy.
Zurich Futura works on a Sum at Risk basis.
This means that the insurance premium is charged on the difference between the sum assured and the account value on a particular date.
For, E.g., If John had signed up for a Futura in 2001 of $ 100,000 life cover. His current balance in the investment account is $20,000 then his premiums will be charged on $80,000, even though the sum assured is $100,000/-
The sum at Risk is the difference between the actual sum assured and the value of funds in the investment account.
In UAE, all residents over 18 years of age can apply for a Futura.
Even companies or Trusts can avail a Futura on the lives of its employees, directors, partners, and trustees.
You can avail this plan on Single Life, Joint Life First Death, Joint life Both Death or on Joint Life last Death Basis
